Dual Alternator Setup tonight- starting tonight.

Post by yota167 »

It's Friday night and I figured rather than get into trouble with friends I would get started on my dual alternator setup. The first thing I need to do is remove my AC compressor (it doesn't work anyhow), because this is where I am going to be placing my second alternator. By removing the ac compressor and placing the alternator in its place, I won't have to upgrade to new pulleys.....I will only have to fab up some alternator brackets. This thread will be a kind of a "build-up" thread showing the steps I've taken to get my charging system capable for 1000+watts. I will post some pics of what's going on, and would like it if you all would critique, criticize, or inform me as I go along with this. I know very little about cb radios, but have done extensive fab work and automotive work.......I have a 130amp Gm Alternator if I can fit it in place, if not I will go for an aftermarket 160+amp.
alright I gotta get the air compressor fired up, and get out all my Mac and SnapOn tools...yeeeeeehaaaaa

This is my dual alt. bracket for Chevy. Just got in the mail yesterday without alt. I'll have it setup in a couple of weeks with 200amp alt to go with my DM 2x6 on order.
